When a patient cannot maintain Respiration in a normal manner
49

When patient has pneumothorax, (collapsed lung) hemothorax(blood in pleural cavity between chest and lungs),or hemopneumothrox (accumulation of air and blood in pleural cavity between
50
When should a respiratory patient TC&DB( Turn,cough,deep breath)
Every 2 hours
51
What to use in regaining or maintaining open airways
Incentive spirometry
52
Should a patient with COPD be given oxygen at more than 3L/minutes...
True or false
False
Rationale:
Do not give oxygen at more than 3L/minutes because it may depress the respiratory drive
